PAYTON. FOUNDATION. CHANGING LIVES.

Use your Influence

You probably take it for granted that you have the ability to influence people in your networks (friends, family, colleagues, staff, clients, suppliers).

What doors are you able to open for charities that they can’t?

• make an introduction to the right person,
• negotiate a better deal on behalf of a charity,
• promote a charity fundraiser from your platform,
• add credibility to an application,
• ask suppliers to donate goods

These actions would cost you nothing but may be priceless to the charity.

Lend Your Expertise

Charities struggle to get skilled professionals to advise without having to pay them. Typical professions needed include:

• Legal
• Accounting/bookkeeping
• Medical practitioners (for health related charities)
• Marketing
• Social Media
• HR
• Policy writing
• Compliance
• IT specialists
• Project management

Volunteer Your Time

Your time is precious and can be precious to those you give it too. You can volunteer in your area of expertise, or step out and learn a new skill from them.

• Board roles
• Pro bono advisory
• Regular roster
• Occassional events
• Corporate days
• Hold a fundraiser

Relationships are more rewarding than money. Get to know the people you are helping.

Use your Resources

You may have an asset that you could allow a charity to use:

• office space, meeting rooms, hot desk
• event spaces
• storage facilities
• host a fundraiser on your boat
• provide a rental property at half rent
• transport
• IT infrastructure
• surplus furniture

How can we help?

We are in contact with charities on a daily basis and they are telling us what they need.

Talk to us about what you’d like to do and we’ll connect you with a charity who needs you.
